Two Newspapers in Cayman - Two Different Perspectives

The Caymanian Compass is the Cayman Islands’ only Daily Newspaper. Established in 1965, the paper is published Monday through Friday. It is widely rumoured that articles in the Compass are often subject to various forms of censorship. As such it proudly bills itself as "Cayman's National Newspaper" and "the Cayman Islands leading newspaper".

The Cayman Net News describes itself as "The first quality-broadsheet to be published daily in the Cayman Islands, the new-look Net News delivers timely, in-depth and thought-provoking coverage of the issues of the day..." and "considered the leader in presentation of news of the Cayman Islands to a very wide readership at home and overseas."

The Caymanian Compass often purports the Net News to be the 'tabloid' newspaper. However, the Net News presents an unbiased look at the news in Cayman without having to save face. Both of theses newspapers are necessary, and for all intents and purposes, each one serves to keep the other in check.

Hi there. I live in Canada and I'm looking for employment opportunities on Grand Cayman. I am an environmental graphic designer with many years experience in print and signage.
I was wondering if there was an online 'classifieds' or database of job opportunities and condos for rent that I could research.
